FDA to Approve 2nd Covid Vaccine Booster

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is thinking to approve a second Covid-19 vaccine booster for people above 50 years of age amid concerns about a new Omicron subvariant that could hit the US. The authorisations for second Pfizer and Moderna boosters can be done by next Tuesday, according to media reports.


Hawaii became the last US state to remove the indoor masking need as the Omicron cases reduced. The state also suspended its Safe Travels program and allowed travellers from other states to enter without giving proof of vaccination. Idaho also passed a bill to stop businesses from requiring a Covid-19 vaccination for employment or service and prevent unvaccinated individuals from being treated differently. According to the bill, to receive a vaccine or not is a very personal and individual decision and one that public or private sectors should not mandate.

China to impose 34% additional tariff on all US goods from 10th April

Dhruva Kulkarni

China has announced a 34% additional tariff on all US imports, effective 10th April 2025, in response to recent US trade measures. 

The tariff applies to all US goods, though current bonded, tax reduction and exemption policies remain unchanged. However, goods shipped before 10th April 2025 and arriving by 13th May 2025 will be exempt.

This move follows the US imposing 34% tariffs on $438 billion worth of Chinese imports, announced by President Donald Trump. China’s Commerce Ministry criticised the decision, while the Foreign Ministry stated it violates WTO rules and undermines global trade.

In 2024, US-China goods trade totalled $582.4 billion, with the US importing $438.9 billion from China and recording a $295.4 billion trade deficit.

China Opposes New US Tariffs, Vows Retaliation

Dhruva Kulkarni

China has strongly opposed the new US export tariffs and pledged countermeasures to protect its interests. It criticised the move as unilateral bullying and urged Washington to cancel the tariffs, warning of risks to global economic stability.

Under President Trump, the US has imposed a 10% tariff on imports worldwide, with harsher duties on key trading partners. China faces a 34% tariff and a 20% duty imposed earlier. In response, Beijing has placed up to 15% tariffs on US agricultural goods like soybeans, pork, and chicken. The escalating trade war threatens China’s economic recovery, already strained by a property sector crisis and weak consumption.

While Trump calls the tariffs “reciprocal,” experts argue his claims about US trade losses are exaggerated. China accused the US of ignoring years of trade negotiations and benefiting from global trade. Beijing has called for dialogue, warning that protectionism will not resolve the US’s economic challenges.

The US has also imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports, though China is not a major exporter of these products to the US.

China’s Private Factory Output Beats Forecasts Despite Trump Tariffs

Dhruva Kulkarni

China’s manufacturing activity grew at its fastest pace in four months, defying expectations ahead of Trump’s planned tariff hikes on exports to the US.  

The Caixin manufacturing PMI rose to 51.2 in March from 50.8 in February, surpassing forecasts and indicating expansion.  

Supply and demand improved, and exports grew, but the job market remained weak, and deflationary pressures persisted.

The private survey focused on small and export-driven firms and showed stronger results than the official poll.  

Despite US tariffs, China’s manufacturing sector displayed resilience, with new export sales rising at the fastest pace in nearly a year.  

Trump’s administration plans new reciprocal tariffs on 2nd April, with China warning of retaliation, adding to trade uncertainty.

German Retail Sales Climb, But Import Costs Weigh on Outlook

Dhruva Kulkarni

German retail sales rose 0.8% in February, surpassing analyst expectations of 0.2%, but increasing import prices pose inflation risks that could impact consumer spending.

Economists remain cautious, citing weak consumer sentiment. Chief economist Alexander Krueger noted that growing job concerns are limiting spending. Unemployment increased by 26,000 in March to 2.92 million, nearing the 3 million mark for the first time in a decade.

Import prices jumped 3.6% year-over-year in February, the highest in over two years, driven by food costs. As Germany imports many raw materials, these higher costs could push inflation up.

March inflation data, set for release on Monday, is expected to drop slightly to 2.4% from 2.6% in February.
